We’ve been busy behind the scenes! Liquid Robotics is relocating our headquarters and production to a larger facility in Jessup, Maryland to support our next chapter of growth and innovation. If you’re local — or exploring new opportunities — check our current openings and follow our page for additional roles that will be posted in the coming months. We’re excited to grow our team and continue advancing maritime autonomy.

🌟 We are looking back on a successful year at Liquid Robotics, including the release of SV5, our new larger Wave Glider variant, and setting a new benchmark with 3 million nautical miles of total distance traveled. We have integrated cutting-edge custom payloads, developed and built innovative new Wave Glider variants, and supported customer missions near and far. Our team wishes you, our customers, partners, and Wave Glider friends, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to continuing and expanding our collaborations with you in 2026.

🎉 We are celebrating a major milestone: Wave Gliders have now logged more than 3,000,000 nautical miles at sea — the equivalent of circumnavigating the Earth 138 times. This achievement underscores the maturity and operational leadership of our USV platform and the value it delivers for national security, science, and industry. Powered only by wave and solar energy, Wave Gliders provide persistent, resilient ocean monitoring in the world’s roughest conditions, supporting MDA, ASW, ISR, and vital meteorological and oceanographic science.

Happy ! Good time to change the perspective. 🙃 And yes, that's the length of a Wave Glider SV5 float with plenty of room for sensors, payloads, solar panels, and batteries.

We are looking forward to continuing and strengthening our partnership with the Hydronet team to advance and commercialize underwater mesh networking capabilities. Most recently, Hydronet and Liquid Robotics successfully demonstrated connectivity of undersea assets through a resilient and secure Command, Control, and Communications (C3) mesh network in a live, military exercise.

Liquid Robotics, a Boeing company, and Massachusetts-based deep tech start-up Hydronet have formally entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly advance and commercialize underwater mesh networking capabilities to connect maritime and underwater autonomous vehicles. “We are very ex...

Talisman Sabre 2025 is soon coming to an end. With more than 30,000 military personnel from 19 nations participating in exercises across Australia, Talisman Sabre is the largest Australia-US bilaterally planned exercise, conducting high-end, multi-domain warfare to improve core competencies, strengthen interoperability, and solidify strategic partnerships between likeminded partners. Liquid Robotics, along with Hydronet, has been pleased with the opportunity to support the United States Special Operations Forces and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) in these international collaborations by demonstrating Wave Glider capabilities during the exercise and the Industry and Defence Science and Technology Showcase.

This is what in-situ sensor validation looks like in our backyard. To kick off data collection for NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands, lead scientist Dr. Jamison Gove dives to the sinker of the Wave Glider’s Winch to take a water sample next to the Turner C3 fluorometer. Collecting chlorophyll-a, turbidity, and dissolved organic matter water samples at the beginning and end of the mission ensures that electronic measurements from the instrument can be validated.

Chlorophyll-a is an important indicator for estimating phytoplankton biomass in the ocean, which provides insights into the overall health of the marine ecosystem and the abundance of fish. The three Wave Gliders for this survey are equipped with numerous sensors above and below the surface collecting air temperature, wind, barometric pressure, ocean waves, currents, water temperature and salinity. In addition, automated winches with mounted fluorometers allow for the measurement of chlorophyll-a, turbidity, and dissolved organic matter to depths of 150 m.

We are off! Mission 3️⃣ has begun to collect data for the Integrated Ecosystem Assessment led by NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands. For this 3️⃣ month mission, 3️⃣ Wave Gliders are circumnavigating the main Hawaiian Islands while gathering oceanographic and atmospheric data. 3️⃣ winches collect chlorophyll-a, turbidity, and dissolved organic matter measurements in depths of 150 m. How many casts is each Wave Glider performing daily? Usually a minimum of 3️⃣ -- most days we run 5-10!
NOAA scientists are using the data to identify seasonal and year-to-year changes in ocean conditions and the associated influence on marine ecosystem health in Hawai‘i.

Check out how we expanded the capacity of Wave Glider SV5 to provide customers with a larger alternative to our proven Wave Glider SV3.

05/22/2025

Wave Glider SV5 expands the range of persistent, uncrewed maritime missions with increased solar power collection and storage, sustaining high-power payloads in extreme environments. At over five meters in length, Wave Glider SV5 also offers additional capacity for payloads and complex configurations.

✨ There she is! 🙌 It is with great excitement that we announce the launch of Wave Glider SV5, a larger variant of Liquid Robotics’ proven Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV).
“We heard loud and clear from our customers the need for a larger Wave Glider platform to support the ever-increasing complexity of autonomous maritime missions. Uncrewed systems are packed with sensors and required to operate for months in extreme ocean environments,” said Shane Goodenough, CEO of Liquid Robotics. “The SV5 combines support for power-hungry payloads and long endurance missions without the addition of traditional fossil fuel power generators.”
